The Degrading Way This High School Allegedly Checks Girls For Dress Code Violations Will Infuriate You

Recently, many schools have been under fire for sexist, body-shaming dress codes that unfairly target girls. But your outrage is about to reach an all-time high with this most recent scandal.

According to WBKO, Amanda Durbin, a senior at Edmonson County High School, got in trouble for a dress code violation while wearing a dress that most people would consider modest. The dress almost reached her knees, as shown in the photo below, and she even wore black tights and boots to cover her legs.

Think that's bad? It gets much worse. Amanda told WBKO that in order to test whether her dress was the appropriate length to meet the her high school's dress code, she was allegedly forced to get on her knees while administrators measured the length between the hem of her dress and the floor.

Many dress codes seem to demean young girls by turning them into sexual objects and treating their bodies as something shameful, but forcing a student to get on her knees in order to measure her skirt is extremely degrading and should never happen in a school, or ever.
